Yeah, I leave out authentication from the test plan, mainly since no one
has asked for it yet.  If anyone else is interested in helping to do
iSCSI install tests, I'll be happy to pull more cases from the iSCSI
test plan mganisin drafted a while back
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:ISCSI_Installation_Test_plan).

One thing I look for with different storage devices is that they display
differently in the anaconda UI.  Likely not something we can test with
your framework.  But another thing we could test is max partition stuff?
Like ... testing the max (and max+1) supported primary and extended
partitions on IDE and SCSI drives.  That's getting really nit-picky, but
still a good test to have in the mix.

Thanks,
